rbd kernel module
Access Ceph Block Devices through the rbd kernel module. Through the module, you can map and unmap a Block Device and display the mappings. A list of images can also be retrieved through the rbd kernel module.
Important: Kernel clients on Linux distributions other than Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) are permitted but not supported. If issues are found in the storage cluster when using these kernel clients, IBM addresses them, but if the root cause is found to be on the kernel client side, the issue will have to be addressed by the software vendor.
